[spursince#99]

Jax channeling 2003 finals game 6

Mills

mills 3

[Obstructed_View]

It was in the third quater, around 3:20 back, after a timeout, I shazamed it, but it couldn't find it.

Sounds like club music. No way I'd ever know what it was. Sorry.

[timtonymanu]

Mills is looking like a bust more and more everyday.

Can't really say he's a bust when he's nothing more than a 3rd stringer. But yeah he's been struggling lately.

And he hits the 3! :lol

:toast

[CGD]

Blair's laziness is getting irritating.

[spursince#99]

S-Jax stepped on his shit lol

[Obstructed_View]

Can't really say he's a bust when he's nothing more than a 3rd stringer. But yeah he's been struggling lately.

And he hits the 3! :lol

All he has to do is stay above room temperature until next year when Joseph takes the third point guard spot.

[100%duncan]

Glad that Sjax now has a little bit confidence. His role is very big in the PO you really have to worry if his shooting is bad.

[timtonymanu]

Come on. End this already.

[Obstructed_View]

Jack is slowly but surely getting his wind back and his legs back. He's going to hit his stride just about the time the Spurs really need him in the playoffs.

Spurs peaking at the right time, brotha! :flag: :lobt2:

[Obstructed_View]

Quit stopping the clock, Patty!

[spurraider21]

interestingly, if we win out, we will be able to extend our 50 win streak to an nba record 13... even in a shortened season

[szkorhetz]

Anderson!!!
What a pass from SJ!

[timtonymanu]

Well that game was intense. Glad the Spurs took away the win.

[spursince#99]

another blowout tbh

[GSH]

Matt Bonner with 19 minutes and 0 points. But a +17 +/-. Second only to Tiago, who had +18. :king

[100%duncan]

Great game overall. Glad to see our guys having a great rhythm into the PO.

[mVp]

Great day for the Spurs today.

[PutMeInTheHuddle]

Kinda sad Spurs didn't get 5th consecutive 20 plus point win. Stay healthy Spurs. Yay my first post.

[ffadicted]

Woooo, 1-0 on game blogs :)

[timtonymanu]

Spurs didnt even play hard and still won comfortably. Good job.

[boutons_deux]

shit, didn't get the 5 straight wins with 20+ pts.

[ace3g]

Spurs could possibly end the season with 3, 10+ game winning streaks

[Arcadian]

I hope the Spurs secure the best record in the NBA this year. It determines home court advantage in the Finals, which is critically important.

Honestly, the only two teams from the East that can make the Finals are Miami and Chicago. Between those two teams, I would rather see Chicago. We are going to want home court against either of them, though.

[NASpurs]

Chicago still has Indiana but I don't think Indiana cares one way or another for that game since they're locked in for that third seed win or lose. Their last game is against the Cavs. Maybe Thibs will rest players for that game.

[boutons_deux]

Bulls play @IND and CLE, ain't gonna lose.

Bulls got Finals HCA

[ElNono]

We win!

[ducks]

sj is starting to get his legs back since he was out of shape
sj is going to kick ass this postseaon

[Robz4000]

Spurs may win out, but I doubt they'll catch the Bulls for the overall best record. Though, Indy may want to get a playoff preview game against the Bulls to warm up. They are at home as well, so they won't tank it. We'll see what happens.

[ViceCity84]

Another win.Another blowout.
Typical day for Spurs.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Manu is getting his rhythm baby!!! hes starting to get in gear...this team is peaking at the perfect time! Im not worried about a single team in the NBA im just worried about health...if healthy we have a good chance at winning another ring! BELIEVE!

[Robz4000]

For the last time, who gives a shit. The Bulls won't get past the old big 3 AND the young big 3.
I'm not sure the Heat will get by Indy. The Spurs can beat either without homecourt regardless.

[therealtruth]

:lmao

It's the same reason why the Thunder have a zero percent chance to win the championship this year.

Will people ever learn? Youth is a major negative in the playoffs, and depth is nearly irrelevant. It sure helps in the regular season though...

Heat in 5.

Pretty much this is true unless there's a huge height or athleticism advantage by the younger team.

[mkurts]

Good outcome, but Tony Parker was far too passive scoring wise and left it all to Manu and Green.

Diaw did well but needs to step it up another notch, especially when Duncan is resting.

[T Park]

Might go down as one of the top 5 boring NBA games I've ever been to.

[ace3g]

Team misses out on scoring mark: The Spurs were unsuccessful in their bid to become the first team in NBA history to win five consecutive games by at least 21 points. They join nine other teams, most recently the Chicago Bulls earlier this season, to win four straight by that margin.

The Spurs’ victory was their seventh consecutive triumph by at least 10 points. That feat has happened twice in team history — the 1997-98 and 1977-78 teams each won seven in a row by double figures.

[T Park]

The 97-98 Spurs were a healthy Elliott from playing the Bulls in the Finals. Didn't help that Duncan sprained his ankle either...

[TampaDude]

The Spurs (except for Duncan) were just shooting some shots...just beating a team they were supposed to beat...no surprises there. :toast

[therealtruth]

Height, yes/maybe. Athleticism, no. Experience trumps athleticism in the playoffs 99 times out of 100 as defense becomes grittier, fouls get called less and offense slows to a crawl at times.

There are anomalies too. The Grizzlies played like an experienced team in the playoffs last year.

[T Park]

Battier had a lot to do with that.
